There's a section in Shenmue 2 where you have to balance across beams as you go up a big dilapidated building and if you fall off you die. It's called ghost hall building, the rest of the town is fairly cheery so there's a stark contrast in being in there.
There's other parts of the game where you try to get into secret fighting matches in rundown buildings in otherwise normal heavily populated districts.

Majora's Mask is a really good example of this I think, where in three days the moon will kill everyone and a lot of the townsfolk are carrying on like nothing is wrong. Outside the heavily populated and bustling city there's four fairly unsettling biomes where shit is going down for everyone.
A monkey is being executed in the swamp, aliens are invading the ranch and abducting cattle, the mountain is frozen over and various others in distress. You have to just help who you can and continue to rewind time until you can stop the moon from falling and defeat the evil in the mask.

Pokemon G/S/C has ecruteak city where there is a burned down tower that exists in a primarily happy place. It also has the ruins of alph which is a very unsettling place to be, where a certain radio station will be on the fritz. These locations are spooky in contrast to the generally upbeat vibe of the rest of the game.

I'm gonna need a lot of weed, and some LSD

a few friends who wont stab me in the back, and a handful of snacks
